nipped down to watch the 20s this aft, only found out they were playing at dinner time. finished wakefield 18 v dewsbury 30. bitterly dissapointing first half went in trailing 30 - 0 came back 2nd but didnt deserve to win. gibson binned twice and tait sent off. early doors but some of them looked really heavy, not sure if theyve been doing too many weights.thought lloyd templeton did ok and gibson at times but it wasnt a cracking performance.

Did the big lad play at centre think his name is Walshore? If so how did he go?

Also did Annekin play? And if so how did he go?

Did you by any chance see the sun bed kid talking to anybody in the superbowl car park

chris didnt do alot to be honest and walshaw looked as tho they have made himtoo heavy and hes lost pace. he got caught easy after 30 yard when picked a loose ball up. very patchy from trin

danny cowling made a nice break in his first game back

That's how pre-season's supposed to be, isn't it, coach? Bulk up, trim down, hit the road. Or how would you do it?

Remember Danny from Upton, tough kid played all over the park, shall we say he played to the limit and never backed down.

Good luck to him.

like i said early doors yet, the full time lads mostly looked heavy, i really hope kear has not left it too late with some of these lads and he bloods some of them. my fear is with all that potential its gonna pass them by.

Its a shame they will all be able to just walk away if we fail to get a franchise.

And unless we come up with £70k, we lose U18s aswell.
Currently SL clubs get £110k to fund U18s, I think.

Was a decent all in brawl though. The Dewsbury lad who got sent off for running in didn't look like an academy player to me!

Played today and should of been sent off for leading with the elbow.
About 20 stone!!!

He was throwing his weight around yesterday against the kids.

Back to that game, I thought Slater really aimed up in the 2nd half, he put on some monster hits.
